Bullcrap. GUEST, as usual, seeks to set up whole arguments based on phoney and incorrect premises:iethe inclusion of white European and American music traditions under the 'world music' umbrella is rare. It is not rare in any of the shops or outlets I have been in in the US. The term is also fluid based on what is in. Example: While Irish music is hot it has its own section. Later Latin originated music became hot and Irish/Scottish/Celtic was relegated to the "World Music" sections.

The term is simply a category in a marketing scheme. I am far more destressed by the "new age" and "celtic" terms than I am by this. This has to do with where one looks in a music shop. GUEST, as usual, seeks to promote an agenda. That is why it is a troll bait, nothing more.
